Games

The girls have been teaching us some of their favorite games that are a lot of fun. A few running games, some hand games, and game with balancing and catching stones (which is very hard). I plan on brining them back to Silver Bay! I taught the girls the song "A boom chicka boom" and they love it!

Alison, Tim and I have been taking a large role in their study time, now that there are three of us we each take a room every night and help the girls with math and english. The girls got to pick what to study so there is a Hindi room, a Benal room, and an English room. The girls also have teachers come to the home. They have a dance teacher, a sewing teacher, a table tennis teacher, and a marching teacher.

Everything around here is done by hand and squatting. To mow the lawn, the garderns squat down and cut the brass with a sickle. To rake, leaves are picked up by hand. Cooking and building, and making things are also down without benches. It is so interesting to see. Also the nights are very loud! There is always music blasting, and since we live on a national highway, we constantly hear horns blowing and traffic going by. But our room is cozy and we fall asleep quickly, Boston will sound like Silver Bay to me when I return!
